+# Building Thorium WinUpdater.exe
+
+Building this project requires [AutoHotKey 1.1](https://www.autohotkey.com/). \
+AutoHotKey is a free and open-source custom scripting language for Microsoft Windows, for creating simple applications, macros, or (as the name implies) custom, OS level keyboard shortcuts.
+
+The [.ahk file](Thorium-WinUpdater.ahk) is the main script. \
+The PS1 files are PowerShell scripts for adding/removing a scheduled task that runs the updater. \
+The .ico files are used in the UI of the final .exe
+
+`Ahk2Exe.exe` is used to bundle and convert these files into a single executable. 
+
+You can install AutoHotKey and then run `build.bat` from within the repo. It assumes that AutoHotKey is installed in the default location.

 # Thorium WinUpdater
-by ltGuillaume: [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/ltGuillaume) | [GitHub](https://github.com/ltGuillaume) | [Buy me a beer](https://buymeacoff.ee/ltGuillaume) 🍺
+By ltGuillaume: [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/ltGuillaume) | [GitHub](https://github.com/ltGuillaume) | [Buy me a beer](https://buymeacoff.ee/ltGuillaume) 🍺
 
 An attempt to make updating [Thorium for Windows](https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2) much easier. This is a fork of [LibreWolf WinUpdater](https://codeberg.org/ltGuillaume/librewolf-winupdater).
 
 ![Thorium WinUpdater](SCREENSHOT.png)
 
-## Getting started
-- If you want to run the portable version of Thorium, download and extract [`Thorium_AVX2_xxx.x.xxxx.x.zip`](https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2/releases). Put `Thorium-WinUpdater.exe` in the same folder.  
+## Usage
+ - If you want to run the portable version of Thorium, download and extract [`Thorium_AVX2_xxx.x.xxxx.x.zip`](https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2/releases). Put `Thorium-WinUpdater.exe` in the same folder.  
   Then, if you wish to perform an update, just run `Thorium-WinUpdater.exe`.
-- When you have installed Thorium using the [Thorium_AVX2_mini_installer.exe](https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2/releases), just run `Thorium-WinUpdater.exe` from any place you like to check for updates. If one is available, it will be downloaded immediately.
+ - When you have installed Thorium using the [Thorium_AVX2_mini_installer.exe](https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2/releases), just run `Thorium-WinUpdater.exe` from any location to check for updates. If one is available, the new mini installer will be downloaded immediately.
 
-## Scheduled updates
-- Run Thorium WinUpdater and select the option to automatically check for updates. This will prompt for administrator permissions and a blue (PowerShell) window will notify you of the result. The scheduled task will run while the current user account is logged on (at start-up and every 24 hours).
-- If your account has administrator permissions, the update will be fully automatic. If not, the update will be downloaded and you will be asked by WinUpdater to start the update.  
-- If Thorium is already running, the updater will notify you of the new version. The update will start as soon as you close the browser.
+## Scheduled Updates
+ - Run Thorium WinUpdater and select the option to automatically check for updates. This will prompt for administrative permissions and a blue (PowerShell) window will open and notify you of the result. The scheduled task will run while the current user account is logged on (at start-up and every 24 hours).
+ - If your account has administrator privileges, the update will be fully automatic. If not, the update will be downloaded and you will be asked by WinUpdater to start the update.  
+ - If Thorium is already running, the updater will notify you of the new version. The update will start as soon as you close the browser.
 
 ## Remarks
-- The updater needs to be able to write to `Thorium-WinUpdater.ini` in its own folder, (so make sure it has permission to do so), otherwise WinUpdater will copy itself to `%LocalAppData%\Thorium\WinUpdater` and run from there.
-- `Thorium-WinUpdater.ini` contains a `[Log]` section that shows the results of the last update check and update action.
-- Thorium WinUpdater also updates itself automatically, so you won't have to check for new releases here. If you prefer to update WinUpdater yourself, add the following to the .ini file:

   ```ini
   [Settings]
   Build=Win7
   ```
   _Obviously, don't add the line `[Settings]` twice_.
+ - __NOTE:__ The `Win` build is for systems lacking [AVX2 instructions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#CPUs_with_AVX2). The `Win7` builds are for Windows 7/8/8.1 systems, because of Chromium deprecating support for these OSes as per [Here](https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/185534985/).
 
+## Building
+ - Requires [AutoHotKey 1.1](https://www.autohotkey.com/) \
+ See [BUILDING.md](https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-winupdater/blob/main/BUILDING.md)
